US Mint Gold, Platinum and Silver Coin Sales Figures, Jan 22

Sales figures for sold out 2008-dated American Buffalo gold and American Eagle gold and platinum coins are showing mostly zero changes this week after a few of the options jumped around last week.

In the strange category for this report, no gains are listed for the uncirculated American Eagle Silver coin. Considering the US Mint still sells them, there is likely an accounting error to consider.

The sharpest gainer for the week is the final remaining 1/10 oz 2008-W American Eagle Gold Proof coin. Sales increased by 1,911, or 16.4 percent. The same size in the uncirculated option also picked up nicely to 8.3 percent compared to the previous 1.9 percent increase.

Mint gold coin prices remained unchanged Thursday in accordance with the new Mint pricing policy. The weekly London Fix average did not move into a new range that would kick in coin price updates. Last week collector gold coin prices declined between 3.7 percent and 4.4 percent following a several day decline in gold prices.
